What makes @stifftrevillion a great place to work? ..Established over 30 years ago, #stifftrevillion have a gorgeous, light-flooded, open-plan office in West London with kitchenettes at both ends. With a lively, eclectic team of 45 employees they enjoy sociable Christmas and summer parties, yoga on Wednesdays, office lunches and even the occasional lunchtime run! The team work across elegant and sophisticated commercial, restaurant, retail and private residential sectors, with their most recent art deco #BeakStreet project used as artist @damienhirst new studio. Charity is at the heart of the practice and they are strong supporters of the @s_lawrencetrust, with whom they host regular events, workshops and sporting days. They are also involved with the @archbensoc and their #Anxietyarch campaign. Finally, they’ve won numerous awards including @BCO_uk, @RIBA London Awards and @NLA Awards. It’s clear that collaboration is at the heart of the practice, and we think this is what makes #stifftrevillion a great place to work!..#Physicalstudioenvironment#Peoplediversity#Projectdiversity#Learninganddevelopment#Industryrecognition#Charitiesandcommunities..📷 @nicholasworley_ @stifftrevillion

What makes @egretwest a great place to work?..This award-winning studio of architects, urban designers, landscape architects, graphic designers and model makers offers a truly collaborative working environment and actively encourages its employees to develop a knowledge of other disciplines within the studio. In fact, employees were even celebrated in an innovative exhibition last year named ‘Spare Time’ – showcasing and celebrating the diverse interests of the creative individuals who comprise #StudioEgretWest. A really sociable and inclusive place to work, the practice offers its employees weekly yoga and drawing classes, overseas studio trips and an amazing contributory pension scheme. Awards won last year alone included an @nlalondon for Caxton Works, a London Construction Award for Erith Apartments, and an RTPI award for its Mayfield project. It’s pretty clear that #StudioEgretWest really is a great place to work!..#physicalstudioenvironment#peoplediversity#projectdiversity#learninganddevelopment#companyculture#benefits#industryrecognition

What makes @jo_cowen_architects_ a great place to work?..Working across a diverse range of sectors including residential, commercial, hotel and mixed-use Jo Cowen has managed to maintain a tight-knit team despite growing exponentially over the past five years, from a team of just 2 to the 65-strong group they are today. They recently moved into a swish new office in Chelsea with open-plan meeting spaces and a mammoth boardroom. It’s clear they really value their employees, in particular their self-development. They offer an extensive range of in-house CPD training, Friday drinks, a monthly all staff lunch and annual trips away to places such as Chamonix (skiing obvs), Cornwall and the New Forest. Recognised in the industry as winners of the @architectsjournal Retrofit Awards recently for their distinctive, contemporary Bakery Place project, #JoCowenArchitects truly has a unique eye for design as well as taking great care of their team. We highly recommend Jo Cowan as a place to work. ..#Physicalstudioenvironment#Peoplediversity#Projectdiversity#Learninganddevelopment#Companyculture#Benefits#Industryrecognition..📷 @jo_cowen_architects_ @dnbutlr

What makes @squirepartners a great place to work? —Their award-winning studio is based in an extraordinary conversion of an old Brixton Department store. I’m sure you’ll have seen it in the press, it’s won numerous awards from the Civic Trust, INSIDE, the @nlalondon and @riba to name but a few. With an amazing rooftop terrace for staff, £2 homecooked lunches and exclusive membership to a private members club at the top level of the building – it’s no surprise that they are a sociable happy bunch. The strong team spirit is strengthened by a wide variety of activities including football, yoga classes, softball and annual office trips to places like Istanbul, Copenhagen and Lisbon. For keen cyclists, #SquireandPartners provide a Cycle to Work Scheme and their on-site bike and locker room facilities are second to none. This sporty lot even won the Bespoke Careers charity World Cup last summer held at the Old Street all weather pitches. It was a great family day out and all donations went to @themixuk. We love @squirepartners as a place to work. —#physicalstudioenvironment#peoplediversity#projectdiversity#learninganddevelopment#companyculture#benefits#industryrecognition#charitiesandcommunities —📷: @squirepartners @jamesjonesphotos

What makes @assaelarchitecture a great place to work?Their bright, airy, open-plan London offices give the opportunity for employees to work independently or as a team. Not only do they work across a broad range of projects from architecture, to interior design, they are also run by a diverse management. They offer an award-winning benefits package including city trips away, Friday afternoon drinks, free fruit offerings, yoga classes, paid overtime, generous bonuses and last year became an “employee owned” practice, allowing all employees to become trustees. Charity is key for Assael, with 1% of turnover donated to charitable causes, they’ve also recently created an illustrated cookbook for @regeneraterise , taken part in Red January raising over £1,800 for @mindcharity and allow employees the chance to regularly volunteer. As winners of the @architectsjournal AJ100 ‘Employer of the Year award’ in 2017, it’s pretty clear that Assael are definitely a great place to work! -#PhysicalStudioEnvironment#PeopleDiversity#ProjectDiversity#LearningandDevelopment#CompanyCulture#Pay#Benefits#Hours#IndustryRecognition#CharitiesandCommunities-📷: @assaelarchitecture @futurecityblog
